During seasonal changes our bodies become more vulnerable. The risk of catching a cold or get sick is higher during that time of the year as our bodies are trying to adjust.

Here are some suggestions on how to stay healthy during the seasonal shift:

~ Eat lots of vitamin C rich foods. Fruits and vegetables in season taste better and are higher in vitamins, are cheaper and better for the planet.Those currently in season include carrots, white and red cabbage, squash, spinach, kale, chard, pumpkin, rocket lettuce, apples, blackberries and pears.

~ Eat plenty of herbs and spices, such as ginger, chilly, thyme, oregano and rosemary to boost your circulation.
